Be equipped to succeed academically

As a Southwest Baptist University student, you have numerous resources available to
help you succeed academically and prepare for life after graduation.

I love having the opportunity to grow. The transition to high school to college is
difficult, but the professors are so helpful. They have high expectations for me in
class. At SBU, you are held to a higher standard.
